Gashira (Officer): Expertly handmade from a mixture of quality traditional and modern materials, as well as some modern crafting process. This class of armor is crafted with a good attention to detail. Crafting Time: 20 to 35 Days. Materials Used: Bowl style kabuto, steel construction, traditional brocade, hemp, quality cotton, brass, copper fittings with genuine leather & and some synthetic materials might be used. (materials may differ depending on model) Our “Gashira Class” yoroi represents the next level up from our “Kachi Class.” Each suit is meticulously handcrafted by our experienced katchû-shi (armor smiths) at Iron Mountain Armory. These artisans pour their warrior spirit into every piece, using quality materials and traditional crafting methods, complemented by modern techniques, tools, and design advancements. Like the Taisho Class, each suit is heavily researched and crafted with great care for historical accuracy. The principal difference between the Gashira and Taisho classes is that the Gashira Class is crafted with a practical bowl-style kabuto (simulated laminate) and some machine-stamped parts. The Gashira Class also features subtle modern enhancements, such as grommets and spot welding, making the armor more robust and easier to maintain. Our Gashira Class samurai armor is made for collectors, exhibitions, re-enactors, and martial artists who desire an authentic “Gendai” samurai suit of armor without the additional expenses associated with the more traditional design and handcrafting methods of our Taisho Class. The Gashira Class features a more traditional Gendai design compared to the Kachi Class and includes features such as real animal hair, genuine leather, a removable or interchangeable nose, brass fittings, shoulder padding with kikko (armor plating), traditional butted mail, opposable thumbs, leg/waist support on haidate, extra materials, fittings, riveting, grommets, additional lacing options, and an included armor storage/display box (yoroi bitsu) with stand. The attention to detail is a significant step up from the Kachi Class. However, due to the handcrafted nature of many parts, there may be some blemishes that pass through our QC process. Although we strive to avoid and correct these blemishes, they are a natural occurrence in handcrafting. Taisho Class suits will have fewer, if any, of these blemishes due to the high standards and meticulous review processes.

Description

This Yokohagi Suso no ita Gashira Samurai Armor is crafted by our senior katchû-shi (Japanese armor smith), at the Iron Mountain Armory. It uses one of the most iconic armor designs called “Tosei Yokohagi Okegawa Ni-Mai Do,” which loosely translates to a “Modern” Two Section Cuirass with Horizontal Plating Joined by a Pin Hinge. It can add the buji-taki (rivets) as an option. Yokohagi Suso no ita is a general term for the lowermost lame on an item or armor, such as the shikoro, sode or tare.

The Okegawa Ni-Mai Do became one of the most common armor designs used during the last 100 years of the Sengoku Era. This Do is crafted from overlapping individual lames (metal strips) that are smoothed over, then painted and laced with your choice of color. The kabuto (helmet), menpo (mask) and suneate (shin guards) armor style can be changed or customized upon your request.

Features: Gashira Class crafting.

Full sized and fully functional.
Variation of paint, high quality cotton odoshi colors and traditional features.
Includes display box and stand.

Overall good quality product. I ordered one size too tall, so while not 100% to my size it still fits well enough to wear once in a while. A couple mail rings came off for no reason on one sleeve. One rivet on the kabuto and another on the do are slightly loose. Cloth underneath left-side sode started coming off, but I was able to sew it back on without much difficulty. If you don’t mind these minor defects (these are handmade after all) it’s worth the price.

Impressive quality. Crafting was faster than I expected and customer service was genuinely awesome.
The armor fits well and the quality is impressive, this looks and feels like it would belong in a museum, and reminded me of the illustrations in Absolon’s book. I haven’t found any issue in the gusoku, the cloth is strong and the armor is comfortable.
This is the kind of quality you would only see in Japan.

Outstanding quality and attention to every detail. Honestly, I was a little doubtful with all the great reviews, but after the fast email responses, telephone conversation and great customer service, I felt confident to place my order. They kept me informed of the progress, even sending pictures and less then 2 months later (sooner then expected) I had my very own custom samurai armor set. My childhood dream has come true! Thank you!!
